Two Months

Lincoln went to the doctor today and he's grown (duh)! He weighs 11 lbs 14 oz (60 something percentile) and is in the 96th percentile for height! The doctor was very impressed with how well he was holding his head up and said he was doing it as well as a four month old. Go Lincoln!

Lincoln is such a sweet little guy. He loves to smile and coo at anyone who will look at him. He's sleeping great, eating great, and is just perfect. We feel so blessed to have him in our family. None of us can get enough of him.

My friend Bridget had a great idea to compare Parker's pictures from the same age, so here's Parker when he was two months old! Do you think they look alike?

Easterness

We had a lovely, quiet Easter weekend here in San Diego. We kicked off the weekend with a Ward Easter egg hunt.

It took Parker a minute to figure out what was going on and that he was supposed to collect the eggs in his basket, but once he did, he got a big kick out of the whole thing.

After awhile he dropped the basket, and would find eggs and then run them back to it.

We spent the majority of the weekend lounging around attempting to watch General Conference with two babies.

On Sunday morning Parker found his Easter basket filled with lots of goodies.

Then he "hunted" for eggs (they were all in plain sight). He didn't really get the grass concept and had to dump it out before he would put any eggs in the basket.

Sunday afternoon we went out to take some pictures of the boys in their Easter outfits. Parker wasn't very cooperative, but we got a few cute ones!

Lincoln's Blessing

A few weekends ago we were able to bless our little Lincoln. So many of our family came into town to participate and support us, it was so wonderful, and we were so thankful to have them here with us.

The men who helped bless Lincoln

We had a little photo shoot with Lincoln after the blessing. He's beautiful if I say so myself (and I do).

He did it!

I guess it's finally time to officially announce to the "world" that Sam was accepted to Kellogg! Yay! We're shocked, humbled, proud (I am), and really really excited. We'll be moving up to Evanston this August and school starts in September. It will be sad to leave beautiful San Diego, but we're definitely ready to take this next step in our lives. Come visit us in Chicago!!
